RECKLESS DRIVING.

Complaints of reckless driving on the
streets Of Salt Lake are loud and MANY.
There can be no doubts that these com.
plants are we'll founded. Scarcely day
passes but human life and limb are en-
dangered by reckless driving on our
streets. The evil is a grave one, and calls
for prompt and vigorous action on the
part of our city authorities. But
will that action be taken? Does not
the matter pass beyond the observance
OF our city government? Is not reckless
driving entirely to rapid to allow our an
cient city Fathers to "catch on?" These
are significant questions We would like
to see the City Council treat the evil we
speak of, even as it has treated the
sewer question, and sit down upon it.
But we much fear that reckless driv-
ing is far to rapid in its mo-
tons for the council to even get
near enough to sit down upon it.
In conclusion, we would say to the City
Fathers, that while we deeply participate
in their well-known sympathy with the
Salt Lake boom, reckless driving is a
species of progress that should not be
encouraged.

REPUBLICAN GEORGE.

Henry George, the apostle of strange
doctrines in regard to land, denies that
he has formed a political alliance with
James G. Blaine for the purpose of con-
fusing the labor vote in the city and State
OF New York, and thus preparing the
way for Democratic defeat. In the teeth
OF this denial, however, call has been
issued by the leaders of the United Labor
party in New York for a State conven-
ton to be held August 18th, for the pur-
pose OF nominating candidates for State
offices, the election for which is held in
November next. Following close upon
the heels of this comes the announce
ment that Henry George has begun to
prepare for the fall campaign in New
York city, where a house-to-house can
vass of the tenement districts is being
made, avowedly aimed at lukewarm
Democrats. 1t is not necessary, saws the
Chicago NewS, in commenting on this
call, that George should Indignantly denv
the charge that this activity has for its
object "a profitable deal with James G.
Blaine in the presidential election of
1883" The Democratic leaders NAV be
relied upon to prevent the consummation
OF any such bargain if it should be con-
templated .-Den0er Nelus.

1888.

Our adversaries, the Republicans, are
busy as bees, devising plans, concocting
schemes and grooming men for the presi-
dental contest of 1888.
Whether they fix upon Mr.. Blaine or
Mr. Cameron, Mr.. Sherman or Mr.. Bea-
Ver' is to them far less important ques-
uon tnan plan of campaign, based on a
SET oil platform principles, which they
hope may catch the popular eye and the
the popular vote.
This is a question which must fail
OF satisfactory answer. 1t is a
Republican task as hopeless as it
is important. Republicanism no longer
illustrates any live political issue. 1t can
not appeal to any necessity of the people;
to any public need, and the time has
happily passed when it could appeal TO
public passion. The Republican party
will have a standard and a standard
bearer in 1888, but the only inscription
the party can blazon on the stan
dard is the name of the standard
bearer, and the popular status o.
Republican leaders is not a
thing of glory. In the absence of any

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The recent Democratic victory in
Rhode Island is acknowledged, even by
the Republican press in the East, as an
indication of the growing strength of the
Administration and of the necessity of
extraordinary efforts being made to off,
set the inroads which Mr.. Cleveland's
course is making in the Republican
ranks. In the light of the adverse cir
!cumstances under which the Democrats
were at the last election IN the little
State, it may be safely concluded that
Republican control is at an end there for
many years to come. What is true of
Rhode Island is true in a wider sense of
the whole country. For, as an exchange
says truly, "the Democratic party will
enter upon the next Presidential election
with the prestige of success to help and
encourage its appathetic voters for the
first time in a quarter of a century, and
the increase in its vote from this source
alone, viii be an element of no slight i'm
portance in deciding the result. Revo-
lutions never 60 backwards, because
the victorious oiie, flushed with their
victory, cannot, in the nature of
things, be beaten by its old antagonist,
depressot a- efeat. The Republicans
have good Ia-5on to feel depressed by
the upheaval in the little commonwealth.
because OF the general tendency of public
opinion, OF WIN node Island is an
index. If Republicans are beaten in one
OF their surest State what can they hope
for elsewhere? II the Administration
commands such co-fdence that its
friends elect Their entire ticket and
control the Legislature its success
elsewhere must be lo-ked upon as
assured. Republicans in Utah should
.ook upon the signs nj the times and
should make up their ,.nds ii this Ter
ritory is to be redeemed within the next
six years that it will be good policy to in
vite rather than discourage aid from the
party which will hold tho reins of gov
ernment for at least that length of time.

THE NEW TREASURER.

Mr.. Hyatt, who has just qualified as
Treasurer of the United States, is a good
example of the fitness OF the appointees
OF our Democratic Administration. He
is the man wanted. Mr.. Hyatt is a gen.
tIeman who has long been prominent in
the major business activities of Con-
necticut. His participation in politics
has been that OF business man. He
served in his State Legislature, in that
Coogan, the present. ;iS able attorney Of the
San Francisco Harbor Commission.
His selection is in line with the Presi-
dents policy OF placing in these great
executive positions not mere politicians,
but business men whose experience has
fitted them for comprehending the full
range OF their duties. Such men are not
at the mercy of their subordinates, but
are masters in their Office.

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL.

If it be true that the hand of death is
even now being heavily laid upon
Charles Stewart Parnell, the great Irish
leader, the century will not have fur
nished, when the end is finally reached,
a more pitiful and deplorable giving up
of life.
1t is the surroundings which will con-
stitute the tragedy. He is carrying his
countryfs banner. He is just in the
prime of his physical manhood, if that is
to be measured by years, and just in the
perfect possession of every intellectual
faculty. More united than they have
ever been, even under 0'Connell, the
Irish people are at his back. He has
already put forth so many admirable
qualities of leadership. He has been so
patient in adversely, so calm in defeat, so
wise in counsel, so brave in actual COM
bat that to lose him now would be for
Ireland, in this mighty duel to the death
for liberty, like losing her sword arm at
the shoulder.
A volume might be written upon the
part that sudden or inopportune death
has played in the history OF nations.
When at Lussac bridge the lancehead of
a Breton squire sped truer to the heart of
John Chandos than all the steel of the
chivalry of France had done on the fifty
foughten fields, was it any wonder that
the Black Prince, worn by disease and
bent under his harness, exclaimed wear
lily when the news was brought to him
"God help Us then! We have lost every
thing on the thither side of the seas"
Or if Montcalm had lived what might
finally have been the fate of Canada?
Ii Caesar had been spared, while he
might not have cared to save the repuh-
lice, would he not have made Nero and

thing to fight for Except the public rev
enues) the Republican party can only
select the field it deems most favor.
orable to fight on. Apparently it has
about decided, and the south has been
chosen as the real battle-ground of 1885.
Here is to be spent the greater part of the
Republican campaign fund here is to be
ELECTED once more the financial
political bargains and sales which has
always been the sinews of Republi.
can success. The programme is a
Blaine adaptation. 1t is at once an evi.
dence of the political cunning of the Au.
gusta statesman, and of the weakness OF
his party. Blaine wanted TO make the
fight of 1884 in the South. Then the
plan had hopes OF success. Fortunately,
perhaps, for the country the plan was
overruled by the Blaine managers, who
failed to see as plainly as did Blaine him
self, that the Republican power was
broken in the North. Now it is too late.
The passage of time has proved
the performance of Democracy equal
to its promise. and the Republican power
is broken in all sections alike. The Re-
publican cause is hopeless in the South
as well as in the North. The Republican
selection OF the South as the scene of the
decisive struggle in 1888, in itself a DO
litical anomaly, will carry with it second
singular development. The transfer of
the battle ground will necessitate an
abandoning of the old Republican
war programme. The ancient and
familiar bloody shirt will be
conspicuous only by its absence.
The well-waved crimson garment will no
longer be drenched in the blood of the
man and the brother; will no longer be
bedewed with colored tears. 1t will be
industriously ly concealed from the public
gaze. There will be no ranting Trades
against the Southern people. We will
listen to no clustering references to
rebel brigadiers." A most sudden Re-
publican fraternal feeling will be
developed, and strenuously insisted
upon. The carpet-bag will become
an object of Republican scorn
and Eliza Pinkston will be a
of loathing. There will no
longer be any fiuttering fear of the South
absorbing the government. The disas-
trous effects of Southern influence in the
councils of the Nation will be a political
myth. Southern representation will be
above par, and the guilt of dominant
South will cease to be criminal when
written in Republican characters. But the
South is not and never will be a Repub-
lican South. The Republican programme
can have only one certain effect. That
effect will be the complete vindication of |
the section of our common country Re-
has so long villifed, op.
pressed and slandered. The Republican
plan of battle for 1888 is the dictation of
desperation, and only emphasizes the
7ery apparent fact that the Republican
,ause is hopeless.

SAYS the morning Church Echo: "a
paragraph going the round of the news
papers states that Lady Fay Holstein
gives ninety-seven pounds of milk day
Lest this shall be misconstrued and give
wrong impression, we hasten to say
that Lady Fay is cow" The Church
Echo makes the mistake of judging solely
from Utah standpoint, and therefore
needlesslY alarms itself in regard to the
balance of the world. Without Utah's
limits families do not require the amount
of milk consumed in the nurture of po-
lygamous offspring.

THE USUAL THING.

The morning Church Echo occupies
half column of editorial space in ap
pealing to the people to nave Irregular
old time Fourth of July celebration, y
and ther closing with the usual Church
bucket of cold water on anything national
in its nature. This is the language in
which the Church paper winds up its
earnest" appeal for a Fourth of July
celebration: "But we fear there can be
no such celebration now. We NAV get to
1t again, and most sincerely and earnestly
do we hope the time is not distant when
we Will be there, but we are not there
yet, as the press and the pulpit and the
courts and the officials all tell in Ian
guage too plain to be misunderstood.
We can try, however, to learn if we are
nearer to the time than we have been for
several years past, and if we are, let us
rejoice and move faster"
Here we have in all of its hypocritical
fullness the usual Church programme.
Appearances are saved by character
istically long-winded editorial ,hinging on
the majesty of the American eagle, and
the glorious associations of the immortal
day of July. Then comes the real gigt of
the article. Then comes the actual in
spiration thereof Then is seen the true
and only object of this precious Fourth
of July homily, to which the
public is so impudently treated. "But we
fear their can be no such celebration
now," pathetically whines the Church
Echo. The Church does not want any
celebration redounding to the honor
and glory OF a government it hates, fears,
and is traitor to. This is the true and
only meaning of the words, "But we fear
there can be no such celebration now"
These words are in the light of an order
to the Sanity brethren. And how
about this "happy" reference to the
celebration, a little farther on in this
Fourth of July appeal of the Church
Echo, 1--WE are not there yet, as the
press, the pulpit, the court and the Off
cials all tell us in language too plain to
be misunderstood" Here are words of
happy application indeed to an occasion
(which should be public reunion; an
occasion on which neither politics
or religion should be employed
to offend or insult" The Church
is not in love with the Fourth
of July, a day commemorative of free
dom; day on which is set, in deep i'm
press, civilizations seal. The Church
wants no Fourth of July celebration. 1t
is natural enemy to such jubilees of
liberty. But The DEMOCRAT hopes that
nevertheless, Salt Lake City will glori-
ously remember the day. The Gentiles
of Salt Lake yield not in fervid patriot
ism to any Americans who breathe
the air of freedom between the
two oceans. Salt Lake boasts
many Mormons who fear not to free
themselves from the fetters of church
domination at the call of the Nation to
which they owe allegiance. The Fourth
OF July in Salt Lake City can be made a
day of National homage; a glorious and
triumphant exposition OF National loyalty.
Let it be done.
